Shirley,Rae and family: Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We have many good memories and the one that stands out is the occasion when we traveled together to Vancouver Island [hair raising car ride] and attending the hockey game in Vancouver.

My condolences to the Presunka family. Ray was a terrific guy to work with and you could always count on him to share a story with his co-workers. He had a great sense of humor & was always there with a smile. I can still remember his laugh or chuckle and was always there to offer assistance. - Posted by: Greg Hanischuk (Co-Worker - MTS) on: Apr 22, 2012

Shirley, Rae, Darrel and boys I was so sorry to hear about Ray. He was a wonderful fun loving person and I have so many memories of the fun we had in Brandon, the vacation we took together and at the lake. We had some good laughs when working together. He was a wonderful dad and know you will miss him terribly. Keep those happy memories close to help you get through this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will miss Ray, he was a good family friend (especially to mother and father George and Edna Zradicka) and we played in several bands together. The old Dauphin Bus Trips & parade's still make me smile! Those were great days! David Zradicka - Calgary - Posted by: David Zradicka (Family Friend) on: Apr 12, 2012

We are both saddened to hear about the loss of your dad, Rae. We both felt that he was a pretty good guy...welcomed us into his fold just on the basis of our being your friends...always a wonderful host...and never with expectation of anything in return. Even on my last visit with him, he had a most warm, welcoming, and genuine smile on my entering his room. It was a pleasure to have known him, Rae. With the greatest amount of respect during this time, I say Cheers to a man that made a difference in many people's lives!! Take care, Love Nick and Shelagh - Posted by: Shelagh and Nick PolischukNpolischuk (Friends) on: Apr 11, 2012
